Query
A query is a simple or compound
command followed by a question
mark (?). A parameter (data) is
returned. The maximum or
minimum value for a parameter
can also be queried where
applicable.

Command forms
Commands and queries have two different forms,
long and short. The command syntax is written
with the short form of the command in capitals
and the remainder (long form) in lower case.
SOURce1:DCOffset

short short
The commands can be written in capitals or lower-
case, just so long as the short or long forms are
complete. An incomplete command will not be
recognized.

commands:
